" How about publishing a police log? "

" Great to see another bust for METH, The sad fact for law abiding citizens is that Parra will more then likely spend a couple of days in jail, have his day in court only to be let out to walk the streets again and to use again.. In fact, he could get busted up to 3 times before he would see any real jail time. The Napa cops are doing thier job only to have the judges and district attorney let the public down by giving these meth losers to many chances. "

" The register already publishes a list of DUI convictions each month, why not a list for all convictions each month? "

" How sad is it that if you get into a fight in the streets of Napa, you get up to 3 years in jail, but when you get caught with drugs you only spend a couple of days, then your free to do it again? "

" The drug court law enacted a few years ago probably has a lot to do with many chances given to drug abusers. Couple that with our ever overpopulated jails and prisons, and Napa PD's apparent disregard for the great social and financial impact of cranksters. How many times have you gone to a gas station or store and seen someone obviously under the influence in a cash handling position? A wink and a nod... "

" some cities publish a police log on a daily basis "

" I am a recoverin Meth addict and a drunk. I know from experencie that if you go to jail high ir under the influence you dont just spend a couple of days. I got busted for being under the influence and I spent six months behind bars. I was only arrested once for being under the influence and I got six months. People don't know what it is like to be in jail high...it is the worse thing you could ever experience. I think people who use drugs after they have allready been in jail for the same thing are stupid people. I got arresated once for that and I never did it again. It takes more than Prop 36 to keep somebody clean. It takes Prop 36 and a live in drug treatment program. I think the the judges these days should make it a maditory thing for them to go to programs. The last program I was at saved my life from getting into more trouble or dying from an overdose. I am proud to say that I have almost 5 years clean and sober!!!! "

" Jarvis you are right, the drug laws are a joke, our prison system is a joke. Perhaps if the METH heads smoked METH in front of the judges house or our DA's house they would be put away, but the average citizen (who pays the judges and DA's salary) gets the reply, sorry we had to release the offender due to state law... Think about this...It cost more for a DUI (legal drug)(misdemeanor) then getting busted with METH (FELONY)????????????????/ "

" Clean and Sober, Way to go!!!!! the laws have changed since you were locked up....now you can get arrested 3 times before you get any real jail time.... Keep it up, you life is much better right???????????? "

" Hey Meth Losers, you hit the nail on the head with that last comment. The DUI laws are a scam on the public designed to reap HUGE profits from the "legal" drug they allow us to buy. So they make a pile of money from the population that they KNOW can afford to pay and has the most to lose if they try to challenge the system. It's broken bigtime and although the cops are frustrated with the revolving door, sometimes, THEY are part of the problem...case in point, DUI baby. They get big brownie points from MADD and the fees keep the state of california's administrative court system in the black. Insurance companies are in on it too. Drug addicts don't have the abil;ity to PAY cash for the crimes they commit so the system lets them go so they can incarcerate those who CAN pay. It's a joke. Want to start making a dent in the corrupt system that surrounds us? Stop paying income tax. It is voluntary anyway and when you file, you actually take a much greater chance of being convicted and going to jail than someone who does not file at all. It is on the irs.gov website for all to see. The moronic employees of government haven't a clue that law is for government, NOT people. Wake up now.... "

" Pay attention please class! Repeat after me! Proposition 36. The fact that it is called PROPOSITION 36, should be a clue to you people that the TAXPAYERS that are paying the salary of the DA's, Judges, etc., are the same geniouses that thought drugs should be decriminalized (almost) by Prop 36. At least in drug court, the judge has the option to put someone in jail if they are not doing what they are supposed to. "

" My sister is a recovering Meth addict... Here is just 1 suggestion, Instead of throwing these drug addicts and alchoholics in jail... why dont you send them to a recovery program. Do you really think jail will help somebody whom is addicted? I dont. "
